The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has set aside the punishment order imposed on a former senior bank official after taking note of the fact that the inquiry was initiated based on an anonymous letter.
Justice S. Srimathy observed that the entire inquiry was vitiated since the action was taken based on an anonymous letter. It was against the circular issued in 1999 by the Central Vigilance Commission. The circular issued by the Central Vigilance Commission had stated that no action should be taken based on anonymous and pseudonymous complaints, the court said.
